I am just speechless! So, my apologies if the comment seems incoherent.

These are a few of my favourite scenes from the show. They so aptly draw out the contradictions in the desires and actions of the protagonists especially, Arnav. Thank you for writing your take on this. In your unique, remarkable style, you have made it something else, something better even. I saw the whole thing in a different light.

I loved the metaphorical use of Little Red and Wolf. Very fitting.

Your use of words is almost magical. At times, so poetic.

If she is a contradiction, he is an oxymoron.

I absolutely loved the last few lines "They complete each other with incompleteness. They complement each other with disproportions. She absorbed the ragged edges of him while he brings out the fire in her. Their interaction was an irony thrown together by the universe and the fate.

Neither winning, nor losing. Always in a limbo of "I want this but I can't have this" and "I am drowning in my own unmaking". Their fates were entwined in their anguish and tied together in their hopelessness."

Pretty much sums up their relationship.

I understand that you had to cover too many episodes in this one, sorry about that! In spite of that, you have managed to take this way beyond what I had imagined. I love it! It's wonderful!

And thank you, once again, for taking into account my suggestion and considering my request. I'm overwhelmed! :)

Looking forward to more of these...!

Absolutely gob smacked.. it would be extremely selfish and greedy of me to ask you - to start from the very first scene and rewrite them all ... but I can still ask . !!!

You lack neither creativity nor imagination.. your words bring scenes and characters alive..

I thought only beauty and beast depicts Arnav and Khushi love story but from now on little red riding hood tale is also a part of it. Even sleeping beauty tale too when Khushi fell unconscious falling from the cliff saving Arnav.
Mind blowing update.
I love reading red riding hood tale with a new twist.

I'm speechless, you blew me away with your words!
I just feel like remaing in this Arnav-Khushi bubble you've created with your magnificent writing style, just absorb the enchanted feeling you've created, hope it makes any sense!
You're absolutely phenomenal, I can mot express my happiness that you've continued with these amazing vignettes.

I know it's too much to ask from you, but if you ever have time I would absolutely love and adore to read Arnav's redemption from your perspective; whether in the form of an OS or preferably a story!

P.s. A greedy greedy reader (:

Brilliant writing as always, RB.
Loved how you wrote this from both points of view.
Red Riding Hood is attracted to the Wolf and in spite of knowing he is bad for her, cannot keep away.
Brilliantly retold scenes from the show.

I'm going to accept "without ado and simply do" that I'll never be able to do justice to your sublime prose. Savouring it and appreciating it is what I'll contend myself with :)

RB RB RB. What can I say? You're brilliant and you inspire me. So much. You say you don't watch the serial and yet, you bring such amazing depth to the words and expression on screen. How do you enter their minds and hearts like that?
Can I be greedy and ask for a scene? The one after the Heer-Ranjha episode, when Khushi and Shyam went to get medicines and he confronts her. I feel it says so much, and I'd wait like a kid on Christmas Day to see you enter Arnav or Khushi's mind in that moment.

Thanks Alisha (Petrichorlove), for suggesting this wondrous collection.
